Isolation and analysis of tumor-derived extracellular vesicles (T-EVs) are important for clinical cancer management. Here, we develop a fluid multivalent magnetic interface (FluidmagFace) in a microfluidic chip for high-performance isolation, release, and protein profiling of T-EVs. The FluidmagFace increases affinity by 105-fold with fluidity-enhanced multivalent binding to improve isolation efficiency by 13.9 % compared with a non-fluid interface. Its anti-adsorption property and microfluidic hydrodynamic shear minimize contamination, increasing detection sensitivity by two orders of magnitude. Moreover, its reversibility and expandability allow high-throughput recovery of T-EVs for mass spectrometric protein analysis. With the chip, T-EVs were detected in all tested cancer samples with identification of differentially expressed proteins compared with healthy controls. The FluidmagFace opens a new avenue to isolation and release of targets for cancer diagnosis and biomarker discovery.
肿瘤衍生细胞外囊泡 (T-EV) 的分离和分析对于临床癌症管理非常重要。在这里,我们在微流控芯片中开发了一种流体多价磁界面 (FluidmagFace),用于 T-EV 的高性能分离、释放和蛋白质分析。FluidmagFace 通过增强流体的多价结合提高了 105 倍的亲和力,与非流体界面相比,分离效率提高了 13.9%。其抗吸附特性和微流体剪切力最小化了污染,将检测灵敏度提高了两个数量级。此外,其可还原性和可扩展性允许高通量回收 T-EV 进行质谱蛋白质分析。使用该芯片,在所有测试的癌症样本中均检测到了 T-EV,并与健康对照相比鉴定出了差异表达的蛋白质。FluidmagFace 为癌症诊断和生物标志物发现的靶标分离和释放开辟了新途径。
